Hi. I’ve applied for a Non Immigrant VISA (due to having a criminal record in the past) and I have got an appt for the American Embassy in London. I’ve read so much info on the process and have prob confused myself!I have read that at the appt the Consular can make a decision there and then as to grant a visa or not... but I’m also reading that if u have a past criminal record the Consular will say that a “waiver of ineligibility” is required (more admin processing which can take several months). Im so confused.... Can the Consular who interviews u make the final decision at the interview to which way it goes? Is there a slim chance they could say “yes” at the interview to authorise a visa? TIA
